Duel With Sal,res,

There was formerly in the French
service in Algeria q general Of Arab
origin, Yusuf by name. One day all
Algeria was moved to laughter by q
satirical sketch of Gen. Yusuf in the
local papers under the title OF Mon
s;eur Joujou." The writer, it was
said, was M. Arthur de FronvieIIe, the
editor OF the paper, who took the re,
sponsibility. Soon after, one fine
morning, the journalist heard terri
Bile knocking at the door. ''Come ip!'
1t was Gen. Yusuf who showed his
Arab yisage at the threshold. He was
followed by an ordnance officer. NJ.
de Fronvielle was still lying TRANQUILITY
in bed. "Are you Monsieur de From.

"Ah! in that case permit me to rise.

ing cheerful about this strange duel.
''Take your choice, Monsieur" said
the General, holding out both swords.
Fronvielle took the officers sabre.
Yusuf threw off his tunic, rolled up
his sleeves, and held his sabre in his
bare arm, which was corded with the
muscles of an athelete. His white
teeth shone from his swarthy face.
Uttering yells like a jacket, and bound
ing like a tiger, savage and friehtful,
he was making ready to transfx his
adversary with his first stroke, This
stroke the newspaper man Tended,
but it cut him terribly on his right
arm. Yusuf stuck the point OF his sa-
bre in the floor and said; "You can t
use your arm: to continue the COM
bat would be murder. We vii! finish
this affair after you are cured" M.
de Fronvielle saluted.
The second day after the fight the
General presented himself at the
wounded mans lodging, and regularly y
every morning thereafter. Il hope
you will forgive me for getting we'll so
slowly, General; a little patience and
l am with you," said Fronvielle. Il
am very patient,'' answered Yusut.
When the wounded man was able to
60 out at last, Gen. Yusuf was the
first to meet him.. But it was to offer
him bis arm. and ask him to lean on
it. All his ANGER had slowly changed

Mark TWain's Native Gallantry.

That was graceful thing Mark
Twain did with regard to his last maga-
zine article, English as She Is Taught u
in the April Century. It seems that a
Miss LIE Row, u teacher in the Central
Grammar School, in Brooklyn, had
been collecting the absurdest of the
mistakes ef pupils in their recitations,
answers and compositions. When
she had q grand pile she determined
to publish them in book form, and she
wrote to Twain to ask if she might
dedicate the work to him. She sent
him proof sheets. ~
He made up a. magazine article to
help the book along and sent her
proofs OF that. He also got her to
change the title from Teaching the
Young Idea" to "English as She Is
Taught. She cut this magazine
proofs materially, taking out what
she thought reflected on her profession.
The article as he wrote it was worth
$3.50, but she much reduced it, and
Mark made a FIGHT for his full price
and got it. When the check came he
made It over to her and mailed it to
her, 90 chat she got the money as we'll
as the tremend dous puff. He had never
seen her in his life. ,... IS. {: 5.$s 5S

A Cause of Badness.

A writer in the current Popular
Science Monthly maintains with great
plausibllity that badness is chiefly
caused by wearing OF head-gear that
"constricts the blood-vessels which
nourish the hair-bulbs. He cites the
fact that hairless heads are chiefly con-
fned to men, women being compar-
atively exempt from the affection. and
mainly to members OF the male sex
who are in good circumstances and
who spend a larger portion OF the day
out OF doors and consequently have
thei: crowns covered more than in
door workers. The high hat and the
hard felt hat receive the brunt OF the
criticism, inasmuch as they, especially,
exert such pressure upon the arteries
passing upward over the sides OF the
skull that the flow OF blood to the
roots OF the hair is restricted. AS q
result the hair is starved and falls
out. Bald men are seldom without
hair around the base Of the head,
which portion is exposed to the air,
and is below the line of pressure; and
badness invariably begins on the top
OF the head, where tho circulation is tho
weakest. The writer asserts: "Ihave
never seen g. person whose habitual
head-covering was soft and yield.
ing suffer from badness. The agri
culturist, whose habit it is to wear
the loosest head-coverings during the
greater part OF his life, has usually
more hair than IS conducive to COM
fort; but his son who has taken to
city life may be bald at thirty"
What this tbeorist propounds is enti-
tied to consideration. The proofs
which he cites are open to observation
OF every person; and others may be
easily supplied.
